Blessings of friendship

by T.P. Wilkinson / July 9th, 2023

Nature gives to feed

Every moment young
Feeding in the sun
Taking in the teeth
What nature gives to feed
Holding what is lost
Helping in the soil
Treading through the past
Remembering the toil
Tenderness in memory
Music rests in fingers
Rhythm finding friendship
Blessings there to feed.
